I thought I would share what I just had to have from the Good Sam Miniature show. There was so much more that I would have loved to have bought but, you know how that goes! It is so easy to get carried away at these shows! So much talent is represented!!

Here is a darling little house by Veronique Lux. I was so happy to have a chance to purchase one!

I love hydrangea's! This is one of the best one's I have seen. I love the colors! OOOOPS, I still need to remove the purple string from the price tag!

I also purchased a kit to make my own flowers for the first time! I have really been wanting to know how to make flowers! They can add so much to a mini home! Some very small gold stickers from Holland and also some incredibly small pine cones!!

Well, Our annual Miniature show in the area I live has come and gone again! I really had so much fun going to it and look forward to it every year. There are usually about 115 dealers, with a couple over here from Europe, with some incredible and inspiring miniatures. I am always so amazed to see some of the items that different artist are making! There is such incredible talent in the miniature community! I have a couple of photos to share from my favorite vendor. Carla Gaustad travels all over Europe and purchases items that can't be seen in person unless you attend the Big shows(Miniatura and Kensington). It is always fun to stop at her space and see what she has! I managed to buy a tiny house by Veronique Lux which I need to take a photo of so you can see! That will come soon. I need to photograph all of my wonderful purchases! The best thing happened to me too........I finally managed to see and hold two Catherine Muniere babies!!! I have only seen them in photos so, this was a real treat! They are so darling. One of my babies had a photo op with Catherine's......LOL

I thought I would mention that this show(35th) is named after the Good Samaritan Hospital that is in our area and some of the proceeds go the the Plane Tree Medical Library that the Hospital has. A good cause!

about me

I am the Mother of one daughter and an artist that has become madly passionate about anything miniature. I love collecting other artist's work and sharing mine. I am still in the process of learning about EVERYTHING! THANK YOU everyone for all of the inspiration that you give and for the sharing
